I have a burn blister on my lip due to some really hot pizza because I am really cool like that.

I kinda had a busy weekend. I worked both days. I met up with an old work friend on Friday and hung out with Aussie on Saturday night. I think that might be why I feel a bit exhausted right now.

BART and I were talking about how today felt like a really lazy Sunday to us. And then we realized we both worked like 7 hours this morning. So I guess it wasn't that lazy of a day for us.

We move into our new apartment soon and are both super excited!! If only someone would come pack up all our stuff for us. Last night as I slept, my tapestry fell down on my head. Its like my stuff is trying to pack itself, right?

Why do the templates that Blogger provides suck so much?

Some observations from the past few days:

• I re-watched Home Alone. Why did they fly to Paris on the morning flight? Do they even have 8 am flights to Paris? There is no way they could have made it to the airport, checked luggage and cleared security with 11 people in 45 minutes. Yes, Home Alone is a movie. I get that but for some reason it really bothered me.
• As I continue packing for the move, I discovered I have way too many t-shirts. I blame AQ for this. I really don't even wear t-shirts anymore but I don't want to get rid of them. I'll have to figure out something to do with them.
• During one of my many discussions with this last week my mom as she cleaned out the basement, she informed that if I wanted to keep my stuff I really needed to start moving it out. That took me a bit by surprise but I guess I'm not in college anymore so it makes sense. I just need to figure out where to put it all.
• Coming home at 2 in the morning and discovering the chain on the door sucks.
• Late night conversations in the rain are pretty fun.

Oh god, it's creeping in. I tried so hard at first to keep it out but I grew lax and now it's there. I can hear it. Agh!!!

Which American accent do you have? Neutral You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you`re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don`t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

I sorta hate these quizzes as I second guess almost every answer.

I don't know why but for some reason tonight, I suddenly decided that I hated my template. I couldn't even think about going to bed before I changed it because there was no way I could stand looking at that red, yellow and green anymore.

So I picked this to get me through the night. I don't know. Perhaps I will keep it or maybe I will changed it tomorrow.

All I know is I will be able to sleep soundly tonight knowing that I wont have to wake up to that template tomorrow,

I just got all this energy to pack up my stuff for the move. So I did. Only like 3 boxes but still it's a start. Probably the earliest I have ever started to pack for anything ever. Hopefully, I can keep it up and everything will be ready for when we actually move.

I wasn't even on the plane yesterday before I started this giant to-do list in my head. It feels a bit overwhelming. But I think I can get it all done. I just have to be really motivated.

Lately, I have been feeling a bit anxious. Like I am waiting for something to start and it just wont. It is really annoying. I hope I can figure it out soon.

I write this from Pomme's totally adorable apartment. It is really cute and comfortable.

I love it here. I really don't want to leave to go back to my real life. It is a lot more fun to run around the city, spending money and eating tons of yummy food. But I guess that is all apart of growing up and being an adult.

This is the first time I have spent more than one night in the Windy city and I like it. I really do. So maybe if Seattle doesn't work out as my next city, I will move here. Who knows??

#215

Work day 6 of 7 straight. Today was interesting. Some really horrible customers with really bad attitudes. 

I am so ready for my mini-vacation in Chicago with Pomme. It could not come at a better time. 

#214

I got another business card at work today...hahahahaha

This job is crazy. 

#213

I had a dream that I was on a date with Benji Madden and I was having a really good time. We were shopping for a wedding dress. It was really weird and I have no idea what it means or where it came from. 

I now have a car in PGH. So far, its been really nice. But now I am constantly worried that something is going to go wrong with it. I'm sorry that I ever made fun of Toi and Sven's tires. I understand now. 

I really want to go on a road trip to Maine. Does anyone else want to go? I was thinking the fall when the leaves change color. 

#212

I'm in the middle of working 8 days straight without a day off. It sorta sucks but oh well, what can you do? 

Today, a customer asked my name and then asked if it ended in an A or an I. After all that, he kissed my hand and walked away. 

My new cousin arrived this morning. I think she's pretty cute!

Did you guys know the Tour de France goes through Perpignan this year? That leg is dedicated to Dali and according to the Tour de France website "If [Dali's] influence inspires the pack in the Corbières or along the seaside, anything will be possible." Hahaha, how utterly French!

#211

Oh man, what is with this week? Could it be over any faster?

This pang of homesickness is the biggest one I've felt since moving here. I don't know what it is. But all I can think about it being home right now, my bedroom, hanging out with my brothers, playing with my dog. Its all I want yet so far away. It sucks.

Update:

• My family came to visit. It was really nice to hang out with them. Though, I wished they hadn't brought my grandparents. They are getting mean and called me fat about 3 times.
• I saw No Doubt in concert. It was amazing.
• Its official! I'm going to visit Pomme in July! I am so so so excited!
• I am one Italian Ice purchase away from a free one. I am also really excited about that.
• I now own a George Foreman grill. I finally made it to the 90's.
• I think I want to own my own used bookstore with a small cafe.
• I discovered PNC Park sells Oberon. I may have to go to more baseball games.
• I think I could live in a large city for the rest of my life as long as I have a cabin to escape to in the country.

I'm getting restless. I am so anxious for change. I find myself searching for apartments in Seattle or Portland. And then I bounce to the opposite side of the country and look up Maine. Moving to Pittsburgh went so well. Dare I say it was even easy? I don't know. I know its foolish to think moving to a brand new city will always be that simple. But a huge part of me wants to see if it will be. 

When my mom was in town this weekend, she confessed that she thought after this year I would have moved closer to home, not necessarily Saginaw but I think a big part of her thought I would be living in EL with Toi. I am not quite sure why she thought this because I don't think it ever came up but she did. I guess I'm not ready to settle down and have those responsibilities. I like having my freedom and the opportunity to pack up and move. But now I know that every time I do, I hurt my parents just a little bit because I'm not a quick drive across the state. I guess its just all a part of growing up, sucks a tad.

So if anyone next August feels the need to pack up, close their eyes and throw a dart at the map, I'm down.

#208

These make me happy. I like focusing on the happy.

#207

Ever realize you aren't over something at the worst possible time? 

Something that you didn't even think was that big of a deal when it happened. But then you start to say it out loud and your voice gets all crackly and your eyes start to water and your hands begin to shake.

Yeah, I did that today at work. At work, in front of a customer as we chatted. 

So blah, fantastic, super...my family comes tomorrow and my room isn't clean and I haven't decided what to make them for breakfast and I need to take a shower and all I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep and this is a very long sentence.

#206

I want to post but I can't think of anything besides

CAW CAW RAWR!

Thursday was my friend Sniper's birthday. We went out to the Cage to celebrate with her. Near the end of the evening a fellow offered to take a picture of what was left of the group. This is what I found on my camera the next morning.

 

Its almost a picture. Sooo close...

Also, this is a song I can't stop listening to lately.

#204

I had the last two days off. I spent them in Frick Park. It was awesome. 

I blew bubbles. I played frisbee. 

I hiked through the woods and saw a fox. 

I sat under a tree and read my book. I stared at clouds. 

My shoulders got some sun. I like the park.

#203

So I got this scarf for my birthday from AUNT. She said the bird's tail reminded her of me. I don't really know what that means. I'm choosing not to put too much thought into it. Anyway, anyone have any ideas of what I should wear with it? It works pretty well as a headband. I will be honest I don't quite think it is my cup of tea.

#202

I want to learn how to do my hair like this. Anyone know how?
